Very cool, I think he had a narrower head and prettier face in the concept art but it came out nicely. Thanks for sharing the wip

>>556264
not my taste but pretty good. the only thing bugging me is that sausage fingers and the fake looking tattoo. the sculpt, clothing and armor looks badass.

Maya LT is 360 dollars a year (30 a month) and comes with everything Maya-related except for a couple of features.

For a thousand dollars, you could be subscribed for up to three years, do whatever shit you want to do there, and make your money back easily if you're serious about 3D. And then you don't have to give up on the software.

never gonna make it

>Maya LT is 360 dollars a year (30 a month) and comes with everything Maya-related except for a couple of features.

I have considered this. My issue is that I don't want to be at Autodesk's mercy when they decide to raise the price, and it has no full rendering engine (at least the last time I looked). I need that.

Thanks for the attempt to help tho.

I've been using Quixel the whole time, it kinda has more clean textures, masks etc, but I'm going to use substance for the project which I'm doing now just to see what it is..
but from what I've seen in substance it has much more to offer just because it's bigger and has been much longer, but quixel is veruy veri awesome and same thing can be done in it

>>556249
If Quixel was a standalone application and not reliant on Photoshop, it would have my vote.

>>558386
Thats fine, I will apply again with a woman's name tee hee

thats racist i am a fucking POC AND IF YOU DON'T HIRE ME ILL REPORT YOU TO THE POLICE

>Well, /3/, I've reviewed your resume and it looks like under your "qualifications" section you seem to have only scribbled "I CAN USE BLENDER" in crayon. Care to elaborate?

the principle is simple, you need to find the boundaries of each thing in your mesh and mark them as seams, then find a path that leads to another boundary and mark it aswell.
very similiar to cylinder unwrap.

step 1 is to apply scale (ctrl+a) then to mark your seams (ctrl+e,mark seam) then hit unwrap (U,unwrap).
the seams in this example are not super accurate but you get the idea

Hey anon, it takes time. Imagine that your model is made of paper, and the goal is to cut it into pieces such that it is able to lie completely flat on a table, no wrinkles or folds. Also, uni is a waste of time and money.

>>555064
I find that imaging the uvs as clothing helps, and placing seams where youd typically find them on clothing is a good start

implying that mine is shit.
heres the shaders

Also before anyone says anything I posted this on 3DCG because it's for my 3D project and I'm 100% sure any kind of info on this subject would interest other browsers on this board.

Patreon is fucking stupid. Paypal has a direct payment link. There's google wallet too. Bitcoin if you do that shit.

remember i want it to be anonymous, meaning the people that are donating to me will see my account name on the service but that's it. they must not be able to track me down IRL (not via my bank or PayPal or name/address).

that looks like shit

>I took an image an image and pressed generate normal map and the result is just as shit as expected
Am i missing something here? In what universe is a tile that bumpy, and grout convex?
I can achieve a better result by blending multiple normals generated with photoshop filters, in about 5 minutes.

In the video he says that that method looks like shit, he ends up using a displacement map with adaptive subdivision and it looks very good.

>>558305
But wouldn't a 3x2 texture take less space then vertex color information?

you're going to get locked up and raped to death in federal prison

You can subscribe to Maya LT for a month and save your models in that version, at which point you're *probably* okay.

But yes, expect not very kosher results if your game makes it big and you can't prove you had a valid Maya license when you first exported the models for it.

>>555202
You'd almost certainly have to report yourself for them to find out. But a cracked version is probably safer than an educational one, which tags all exported files if possible. By best to just use blender imo

I was going to try get you to beleave you needed a £500 mouse but frankly It's too much effort. Just by a cheep as Dell mouse, i have thumb buttons on my mouse that I never use when modelling. Also don't beleave the memes about 3D mouses

Pretty much any mouse will work, but some are better than others, depending on what you're doing. I used a shitty 10 Euro no-name "gaming" mouse with a laser sensor for the longest time, and it certainly got the job done.

When that one broke I decided to do some research and get one that was actually "good" (i.e. decent sensor, weight and shape), primarily for gaming. I ended up with a Zowie EC2-A and I was surprised how much it helped me even outside gaming. Repetitive shit like cutting edges or welding vertices definitely became way easier.

Every year, I buy the same mouse and keyboard that the top League of Legends LCS tournament winner uses so that I get the highest amount of APM and thus the highest quality models

You can also imitate the CS:GO champs as well

>>558139
I am :^)

There's some advantages to photo textures, namely speed. If you can get a decent normal/roughness map out of a photo it can help you cut corners to get things done faster, the tradeoff being lack of customization/reusability, and shittiness of normal mapping generation for certain photo texture types.

Personally, however, I've been having a lot of fun with SD and use it whenever I have the chance.

The procedure I use is to paint manually, in Quixel and PS. Whatever works, right?

>>558107
Since it's freelance work payment should be entirely negotiable. Propose your budget and if someone is interested then you can present your logo, state what you expect of them(model, texture, etc), and work from there to achieve a desired model.

the quality of the work will be determined by the artist rating in the website.

and you are surely not wanting to pay a boatload of money for just a quick into, try to find something in the middle.
also support your own native economy and don't hire and paki's or black french

>>558107
You don't really want a 3d artist for a logo.hear me out, any scrub on this board can make a logo, at lest they can make something 3D from a refrances but what you probably want is a entirely new logo right? Hire a graphic designer and ask him if he can make it 3D, if not hire a 3D artist in addition to the graphic designer.

Also small note, when posting a refrances for skill level make it more relevant, unless your logo has a person in it why would you use your image? Use a image of a logo/asset that reflects the job you want doing.
